Poem.

I watch silently, waiting to be heard.

I listen to the stroke of your pen, as it hits the paper grain,

to the incessantly strike of the keys – watching you, lurking in the shadows.

I caress your mind, blow softly the cobwebs of your imagination, awaiting …

Hear me, see me, feel me, make me into reality.

I want to exist; I yearn to come alive, to breath in the pages of your soul – to be.

Light my shadow, pull the curtain – I’m behind, waiting … to be written.

Write me, I am the character left behind.

    So creative I have an idea the man behind the curtain will find life one day soon in the imaginative mind of this poet.

    How true. The writer gives life. Characters wait to be born.

    An original and imaginative way of expressing a feeling that most of us would recognise – something important yet to be written.
